Decisions.

Mom is in rehab now but they have decided her next step is a nursing home. Mom has COPD, pneumonia (3x), c-diff (3x) and dementi. She refuses treatment, curses out nurses, and refuses to eat. I'm sure she doesn't feel well, but it is affecting future treatment. This has been a rough 3 1/2 months.

Yes. She was taken to the hospital and release to rehab. She has basic Medicade. I am hoping to find a place close to home.

It certainly sounds like a rough time! Was Mom hospitalized then released to rehab? Often with dementia they cannot cooperate enough with their care plan in rehab.

Do you have a nursing home picked out? Is Mom on Medicaid or will she need to be? That is another big milestone to complete, if you need to.
